Gordon Biersch debuts a cool summer beer
June 25, 2008
There's no concrete definition on what a good summer beer is, just that it should be light and refreshing, usually with a touch of citrus.
Last night, Gordon Biersch threw a tapping party (its second of the year) to debut its new summer brew. Power & Light District brewery's attempt is an excellent, very drinkable offering most noticeable for what it lacks: the sweetness commonly associated with summer beers.

Emily Stump, bartender: I think of summer brew and playing washers, grandpas balls [a.k.a. ladder golf], listening to Denny Mathews and the Royals on radio.
